[SOC] Monday's morning Pot-pourri

[Dennis]

Morning....
C.S. Lewis, a sci-fi writer, free thinker, college professor, severely
boring guy.....
Lewis Carrol, drug user, possible pervert, wrote "Alice in Wonderland"....
actually a pretty good story considering he was blasted at the time...
As for "RINGS"... if it smells like, and looks like it's probably...
Try the "Man - Kzin" wars for some of the best S.F you will ever read....
IMHO...
